Still doesn't work but the exception is different. I've granted *.* so now the create database is made automatically, that's good. But when I point to my newly create virtual wiki, I get the following exception. Any idea it looks like this is an encoding error. From the database maybe ? What set of characters should be set in MySQL ? :
